Shang Ning bought lunch and went back home. It consisted of two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, which was definitely a nutritious meal. This was mainly because Qin Wei was also there, and definitely not because of Jin Yining.
They started filming at 2:30 pm, and after lunch they had a break. The afternoon's scenes were about Qin Wei and the third male lead of the series, who was the only remaining member of the demon clan raised by Jin Yining. It was a healing scene.
Jin Yining's script was in the room. Shang Ning glanced at it a few times, and Jin Yining simply reached out, took it, and tossed it to her, saying, "Read it if you want."
Shang Ning: "..."
She didn't want to watch it; she just wanted to know if the characters in the show would give her any romantic moments.
Qin Wei watched the two of them while eating. It was indeed a good feeling to be a couple up close, which explained why Shang Ning was so devoted to them.
Shang Ning didn't stand on ceremony and actually ate while reading the script. Jin Yining and Qin Wei talked about the afternoon's scenes, as they had to rehearse with another actor later, so a lunch break was out of the question.
Shang Ning ate while reading, not paying any attention to the fact that the food in her bowl was all put on her plate by Jin Yining. Mainly, the script was just too good.
Qin Wei glanced at Jin Yining every now and then, watching how naturally she picked up food with her chopsticks. This way of taking care of her was almost like taking care of her own child. Who was the assistant, really?
Even the heir of the Jin family has a day when he has to take care of others; it really is a matter of karma.
The script outline is not as detailed as the script. It roughly tells a general story: In the beginning of the world, the primordial god split the chaos and created the world and nurtured mankind. Until the world was divided into five realms, gods, demons, monsters and the underworld coexisted. Millions of years later, only two of the primordial gods remained, played by Jin Yining and Qin Wei. The story begins with the chaos caused by the demon race. The two primordial gods have a disagreement because of the demon race. One becomes a demon and the other devours the demon. The generation of primordial gods completely breaks apart.
Ten thousand years later, the only remaining boy of the demon race has grown up, but he suffers from the aftereffects of the war. To save the boy, two primordial gods must join forces.
Unfortunately, the breakup between the two back then was too tragic, and the primordial god in the heavens was unwilling to help him, which led to the story that followed. Anyway, not all primordial gods are virtuous and respected. For example, Jin Yining is a character who is so persistent that there is nothing he won't do. On the contrary, the child he raised always complains that he is shameless...
Looking at these lines, Shang Ning really wanted to say, "Shamelessness is real, this is practically a natural performance, okay?"
Jin Yining poured water and placed it beside her, reminding her to drink, before leaving with Qin Wei.
As they left, Shang Ning finally came to her senses. Looking at the water glass on the table and the fact that she had no idea how much of her lunch she had eaten, something seemed off.
Jin Yining even started currying favor with her in order to break up her on-screen couple.
This is terrible.
Serving dishes and pouring water with utmost attentiveness, isn't there still a problem?
Shang Ning put down her chopsticks and script, picked up her phone, leaned back on the sofa, and started typing.
[Starlight: If someone suddenly becomes incredibly nice to you, taking care of your every need and being extremely attentive to you, is there something wrong with that?]
Mom, I've fallen for you: I like you.
Starlight: That person wanted to strangle you before, really wanted to strangle you to death.
Mom, I've really fallen for this: ...
Starlight: Do you think there's a conspiracy?
Mom, I'm totally hooked: You mean Da Bao?
Starlight: ...
Starlight: No, I was just reading a novel when I suddenly came across this plot, so I asked you.
Mom, I'm totally hooked: either the male lead or the female lead is crazy. Think about it, she's about to be strangled, and they still give her the chance to be all attentive and pretend to be kind. Just keep watching, maybe later the female lead will fall for him, and then the male lead will pull her heart out, put it on the ground, and stomp on it...
Shang Ning swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his heart, so intense that sweat beaded on his forehead…
